I made the change from "Reach Station Gamma" as named in [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] to "Gamma Station" as mentioned in [[Halo: Reach]] because it's dialogue in a game. But the latest press release also states "Orbital Station Gamma". So it's all a matter of which we follow, does new canon trump old canon?, games greater priority than books?, or does the mention of "Station Gamma" in two sources, indicate it should be appropriately named "Station Gamma"? --[[User talk:SpartansOnFire|Asian Inferno]] 03:20, 15 February 2011 (EST) | I made the change from "Reach Station Gamma" as named in [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] to "Gamma Station" as mentioned in [[Halo: Reach]] because it's dialogue in a game.

You never know what could go wrong. Secondly, all iterations of the title refers to the station, so I think we should go with the most frequent used title, which I supposed in this matter should be Station Gamma.— <span style="font-size:120%; font-family:Palatino Linotype; font-style:italic;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 08:24, 15 February 2011 (EST) | ||
::For me, it seems that "Reach Station Gamma" is the complete title while "Station Gamma" is used if there's no chance of confusing it with another station in orbit over another planet. Also, just because something is referred to with a different name doesn't mean the old name has been retconned away. Consider all the things in the real world which have more than one acceptable title. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 08:39, 15 February 2011 (EST) | ::For me, it seems that "Reach Station Gamma" is the complete title while "Station Gamma" is used if there's no chance of confusing it with another station in orbit over another planet.

Shouldn't that be changed?

:Take note that "Game over Novels" should be considered, but it is not always the case. Things like gameplay balance negates the validity of game canon. Back in topic; it is not really an issue as long as every iteration of the title is redirected to this article. — <span style="font-size:120%; font-family:Palatino Linotype; font-style:italic;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 18:04, 15 February 2011 (EST) | :Take note that "Game over Novels" should be considered, but it is not always the case.
